if i can add to that, bob dylan did a great cover of it. you're in a manger. there is a baby trying to sleep. do you really want some little keith moon wake up the whole barn? >> no. it is a nonsensical premise. i've never understood it or enjoyed the vienna boys choir whatever they're called. i also don't like -- it is not that i don't like jingle bell rock. it is that i think i've o. d.ed on jingle bell rock about two years ago. i don't know what a jingle horse is. i don't want to mingle and mix in a mingle with a jingling beat. i would rather get drunk quietly in the corner and sob to myself as i so often do at christmas gatherings. >> john: i'm still a fan of oh, holy night. >> i like that. >> john: it is a great song. we're both pretty big film fans and holidays bring their share of classics. do you have any favorite christmas films or any films that aren't necessarily about christmas but still you think capture the christmas spirit? >> i do. drugstore cowboy with matt dillon has been a favorite of mine. watching him throw all of their drugs that they've

he is joining us tonight from berkeley, thank you so much bob for joining me today. >> well good evening, jennifer. i'll tell you this is something that only tangentially touches on my normal topics but goes to the heart of the moral understanding and ability of americans to take action. i think we have reached a tipping point here. i think the normal approach we take as a country, because of an at attention deficit disorder that we have in the media is when some horrendous thing like that happens, we talk about gun control and change and then we sort of lose our way. the gun lobbies become more activated, and then when it looks like we are serious, they mount all of their possible cloud. i think this time it is going to be different. there's no way that americans are going to forget 20 six year olds and the way they were gunned down. i think we're going to see a change. >> jennifer: i hope you are right. you were in president clinton's administration. do you think this will be a changing of the political climate to make the passage of at least an assault weapon's ban possible? >> i am b

governor rick perry governor bob mcdonnell said they supported allowing guns in schools. mcdonnell said his state should consider arming teachers and principals and other school staff. and he's not alone. today republican legislators in florida, south dakota and tennessee said they plan to introduce similar measures in the next session. and we're going to know more on friday because the nra is going to hold a press conference on friday announcing its plans. the organization said it is prepared to offer meaningful contributions to help make sure this never happens again. we'll see what that means. but the nra does not have to set the agenda for us. we do not have to be helpless. we can do something. so as a call to action for congress, on a day when two more small bodies were buried in connecticut, please close the gun show loophole. make the background check a safer process. second, ban any new sales transfers, importation possession of assault weapons. third, ban high-capacity clips of more than 10 bullets. there's no peaceful reason to possess those things. our call to

i haven't really thought about that, bob, the business of newark is in front of me. >> yeah, this is somebody who rushed into a neighbor's house that was on fire to save that person's life. he is currently trying to exist on food stamps so he can better relate to people doing that. he is going to get to write his own ticket. i do think it is shrewd of him though to think about bypassing the governor's race with christive that could be an extremely expensive race at a time when he could sort of waltz into the senate. i would behe bypasses on the chris christive match up, and runs for senate. >> yeah and frank laudenberg is going to be 90 years old. he might say i'm going to let cory booker have his chance. current tv unbelieve correspond dent -- >> michael we're going to find the video of frank laudenberg rush going a burning house to save people as well, so don't you worry. >> rushing? rushing?
